#arbok evolution

What’s this? Arbok has evolved into Nohtyp! Really happy with how this one came out :)

“An old fable tells how a powerful pokemon bestowed an arbok with a new, draconic form. Despite this, nohtyp is not a dragon type, but it has been known to prey on them from time to time.”

EV Yield: Atk: 3 Spd: 1

Physiology: Adnokana is a very long serpentine Pokemon with bluish-purple scales covering its body.  Its large hood has shrunk somewhat from its previous evolution, and it has gained the ability to properly 'retract' or lay its hood flat - an ability it lacked as an Arbok.  The characteristic face markings on its hood have grown more elaborate, with brighter color contrasts.

Gender differences: Female Adnokana have larger eyespots in their markings.  Male Adnokana have larger mouth-spots.

Special abilities: Though Adnokana gains little if any increased potency with its venom, its larger teeth make it much easier to inject that venom into its prey.  Adnokana prefer to constrict their prey, something their larger bodies and stronger musculature makes easier for them to do.  Arbok have been reportedly able to crush steel oil drums - reports of Adnokana crushing vehicles have been made.  It spreads its hood at the first sign of danger, attacking tirelessly until it has caught its prey.  Its regeneration ability has vastly increased as well, able to regenerate what may have been grievous damage within hours and lesser injuries within minutes.  Adnokana are also able to hold their breath for extended periods of time, an important ability for a semi-aquatic species.

Behavior: Vicious and violent, Adnokana will not tolerate any intrusion into their territory.  They mark it by using their venom, which is unique to each individual.  Highly destructive, they care little about collateral damage and will ceaselessly hunt the target of their anger and will deal harshly with anything that gets in their way.

Habitat: Adnokana live in grassy marshlands and swamps.  Though not water-types, they prefer moist, if not wet, environments where there is plenty of water to hide in.

Diet: Very indiscriminate eaters, Adnokana have been reported eating everything from smaller Pokemon to human equipment.  They tend to eat large meals, and then go for long periods of time without food.

Pokedex entries:

Ancient cultures worshipped it for its regenerating ability, believing it to be immortal. They wore jewelry similar to its markings.

Immensely strong, they have been reported to crush entire vehicles into scrap metal. Nothing escapes them once they begin to hunt.
